I'm looking into doing something when in FL, just the 2 of us. I really feel like we need the alone time. I've been searching on groupon and actually found the hotel we stayed at on our honeymoon and I might just book it. There's 3 days left on the deal...

Fun! Go for it! DH's sister said the girls can stay with her when we go to Vegas so I think we'll buy our airline tickets tonight and book our resort.

Two girls were abducted about 30 miles from where I live. They are 12 and 15. They got off the bus yesterday and accepted a ride from a stranger. The 12 yr old was found running from a farm house. She was treated for cuts and scrapes and I read somewhere that her mom released a statement saying she was not sexually abused. They are still searching for the 15 yr old. They found the suspect dead and are saying he took his own life. So sad and scary. This man was released from prison in 2011 after abducting 2young kids in 1991 and I think another kidnapping. The young kids were found alive in a dumpster. There were two girls abducted and found dead last summer in our state and it makes you question if he had something to do with it.

We are back from our cruise. We got home Sunday night. We had a great time! I've been trying to play catch up since then. DH planted 6 fruit trees yesterday, we mowed the lawn, I have piles of laundry to do and just piles of stuff to find a place. Today my mom and I are going to go to a greenhouse to get flowers. I guess it rained a lot when we were gone. I'm way behind on my outdoor stuff. My dad, who is a farmer, hasn't planted a kernal of corn in almost 3 weeks because of the rain. It's really sad for the farmers. It seems to dry up enough, then rains. I'll update you more about our trip when I have a bit more time.

The cruise pictures you put on FB are awesome. Looks like you had a great time.

I am doing a temp job for 6 days. It is pretty boring, I answer a random call and distribute mail. Oh well, the pay is not bad. I have an interview after work today, they must like my resume as the person interviewing me is staying late. Sean has a promising interview tomorrow. It is so stressful with both of us not working,

Margaret...Are you not working at Target? Hope good news is coming your way for you and DH.

Mari...when do you go on vacation? I'll try posting a link to my FB pics.

They still have not found the girl that was abducted 2 1/2 weeks ago. They suspended the search because the river was really high d/t rain. They are now searching again today. They did find blood on the tailgate of the suspect's pickup and at an area they were known to be and the DNA matched her's. They said that with the amount of blood she suffered significant injuries. The girl that got away told her story. The guy approached them when they got off the bus asking if they wanted to make money mowing lawns. They said they needed to ask their parents and he said they could call them. They got in with him and he took them to a hog confinement where he worked. He took the 15 yr old in another room and zip-tied the 12 yr old. He had a gun but left that when he went with the 15 yr old. The 12 yr old grabbed the gun and managed to escape and ran and found help. The suspect hung himself. It's so sad for all the families involved.

I'm leaving on the 25th, we will get to Disney on the 26th. We have a surprise for DD, we have front row tickets to for Blue Man group that night. It's going to be a crazy day, since we would have driven 10 hours that day and the show is at 8pm... To then wake up to do Magic Kingdom the next day!! LOL! Oh well, we have 2 weeks of beach after that I guess we can relax then.

That story is so heartbreaking. It doesn't seem like there is much hope in finding that poor girl alive. Those poor parents.

Meg - I was having major panic attacks at Target. Not sure what the trigger was but it was not a fun time. I am currently doing a temp assignment which ends on Wednesday. I am waiting to hear about last week's interview and I may have an interview on Thursday of this week. My job is pretty boring as they did not want to train me to do much so I am basically on facebook and here.

Mari - you deserve a great vacation. I hope you all have fun.

AFM: planning an 8th birthday party - theme Lego for the 22nd. I need to figure out what to send for a class treat on the 26th as it is Splash Park day for kind-grade 3. Robbie will eat with his class so I don't have to bring a treat for 70 kids. Last year his birthday was on Splash park day. The last few days I have been going baby crazy but a friend (who I met through the .org) just had her baby on Friday so I need to go for a visit.
